>>> While many events were cancelled (or were just not happening at all) for tonight, we know at least one is still going on: Tonight at A.K.A. Music (or, Philebs HQ) they are hosting their first film screening. The underground horror double feature includes the feature The Mind, and short Simon Says, by fimmakers Isaac [...]

This morning, Governor Chris Christie (wearing his finest personalized fleece) finds himself stuck between a Hurricane and a Democratic administration. Were he to continue on the “It’s totally the black guy’s fault, and Mitt Romney would be so much awesomer at everything except basketball” tip, he would rightly face accusations of unseemly partisanship in a [...]

We’re only at the start of a long clean-up effort, and while most of us may have missed the real brunt of the storm, there are still people whose homes were destroyed and lives uprooted. If you’d like to help with the relief efforts, you can donate to the Red Cross’ Disaster Relief fund over [...]

It’s a bit after noon, but this is still a nugget nonetheless: Above is the new video for Bleeding Rainbow‘s “Drift Away,” which comes off as a mix between the stop-motion of “Sober” and the singing-through-a-wall-of-water of “Come As You Are.” The video debuted on Pitchfork.tv, and the stop-motion adventures of our little friend there [...]

As Sandy hit New York City yesterday afternoon, and people were told to stay home, both Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman went on and taped their shows anyway, without an audience. As Letterman delivered a monologue directly from cards at his desk (and used cue cards for the Top Ten List, since their on-screen graphics [...]

As many of us who didn’t lose power yesterday saw throughout the day on the news, Atlantic City got much of the brunt of the storm. The boardwalk got torn up and was floating down the street, people were stranded, and Chris Christie was pissed (so was the Mayor of AC). As the rain stops [...]

SEPTA General Manager Joseph Casey just announced, with Mayor Nutter (who stopped to get his SEPTA hat from his city agency hat closet), that the Broad Street Line and Market Frankford Line and trolley lines will resume service at noon today.
